“We are delighted with the service we have received from Aragon Consulting Service Limited, the initial brief was for them to revise and improve our QMS, and conduct audit training for designated personnel.

Managing Director David Hewitt achieved this in record time, he drove the project forward, rewrote the complete manual, and involved and motivated our staff throughout. At our last audit we received a glowing report on the improvements and no ‘non-conformities’.”
